Coffee Talk for Climate Change

With polar vortexes in the north, horrific fires in the west, and extreme hurricanes here at home, understanding the existential threat of climate change continues to get harder and more important. However, there are little things that each of us can do to create small changes and demand bigger ones. We should celebrate wins as they're achieved, while keeping sight of important work needed to preserve a livable planet. In this coffee talk we'll develop a conversation around ten ways each of us can help fight climate change.
